Time's New Facebook App Predicts the Age You'll Be When You Get Married

If you've ever gotten a slight feeling of FOMO when a friend announced an engagement or marriage on Facebook, you're not alone. Apparently, Facebook life events make a lot of single people feel like this:

"Watching the parade of our friends' major life events makes us both envious and lonely," says Time's Chris Wilson. So Time decided to put a more useful spin on status updates by creating this Facebook app. It analyzes all of your friends' life events and predicts the age when you are most likely to get married as a result.

OK, what do you guys think? Our first reaction was "Oh great, another way to turn marriage into a competition and make people feel bad about themselves right before Valentine's Day." But then the information just started to sound kind of interesting (however irrelevant it might be). We all clicked! Did you?

Time's app isn't the only one our office has been buzzing about today. This app estimates the exact number of "right guys" out there for you by sifting through population/geographic data based on how picky you are. The good news? It's pretty encouraging to see that there are, say, 35 guys you could be totally happy with living in your very city at this very moment. The bad news? You've still got to find them. Someone please invent an app for that.
